Are you a fan of the change to the Photos app?

[mistabritt]

Brandon I swear you are like my favorite iOS reviewer. So detailed and I like how you explain everything out. Keep up the good work. Love the videos.

[Argt]

The screenshots showing up full screen was the default behavior since the beginning, it only changed with iOS 18.0. Thank Goodness theyre bringing it back, how does it seem better for you to have to tap twice to expand a screenshot

[CollegeWithCorey]

Might hold off a week on this one. Thanks for the video as always!

[darthastrius]

Definitely skipping this release! Thanks for the video!!

[davocarli]

Beta 2 has been really stable for me, but it kinda sounds like Beta 3 has a lot more issues so I’m just gonna stay where I am for now

[GSO_GSO]

Default fullscreen images and videos is not a regression. Thank god they fixed it.

[davidfortin]

When using the image wand, I noticed that sketching an object doesn’t instantly generate the image. Instead, it prompts you to “Describe an image.” Based on your description, it creates something that resembles your original sketch while incorporating the details you provided. For example, I drew a rough outline of a human and entered “giraffe” as my description. The result was a giraffe shaped in the form of the human I had sketched.

I like the new image view in the photos app. It´s now like in iOS 17 and before!
I hate to tap every time I want to show somebody a picture!

[IntelParkMC]

Already updated before this video so I hope I like it!

[russelllycan]

I am frustrated that I am still on the wait list to receive Playground and Image Wand

[lostkhaz]

Hey man sometimes I watch these before updating or while updating and I was thinking it would be nice if you could talk about the big bugs like stickers disappearing or dark Lock Screen at the start of the video with a little warning about how people might not want to update to this beta before getting into the new features

[ccballa]

I just hope the battery is as good as beta 2.

My battery was lasting all day.

[GomarThePotato]

all the changes to the new photos ui feels like an incorrect way of trying to fix a non-existent problem :/

[Irnbruist]

Finally, one klick camera lunch without the screen needs to be on first!

[runner-zc]

this update is getting more awesome with each beta

[Reinventmusic]

Even the most powerful AI would fail trying to guess that was a tree 😅

[TonySimons]

Excellent video, Brandon! Thanks for breaking everything down for us! Worth mentioning, my stickers did not disappear after installing Beta 3. Weird that you’re experiencing that.

[kiingkay]

I can’t wait for the Mail update tbh. They need to reverse the Photos app. The first time I dislike a change 😅

[md.fahimalam]

My stickers are perfectly fine. After saying you lost all your sticker I got scared for a sec.
